Doctor of Smiles
Doctors of Smiles are not actual doctors, but are the Grotto volunteers in your community. They are your direct connection to the Humanitarian Foundation and will help you complete the application for your child’s dental care and answer any questions you may have about the Dental Care for Children with Special Needs program. If there is no Doctor of Smiles in your area, you may contact the Humanitarian Foundation directly at 614-933-0711.
